The first part of a set of four volumes seeking to provide an historical and theoretical perspective for consideration of theory and practice in conflict resolution and prevention. The other volumes cover the human needs theory, and readings and practices in management and resolution.
Written as an introductory text, this book provides--in simple language--succinct definitions of the terms used in conflict resolution, explains the ideas behind those terms and the process by which conflict is resolved. ...refreshingly simple and direct. This book undoubtedly provides a persuasive overview of the history, basic theory, and practice of resolving conflicts. --REFERENCE REVIEWS
This analytical interdisciplinary approach to the study of behaviour in world society attempts to make relatively advanced material intelligible to those without the background of political science which has hitherto been necessary. Dr Burton, viewing world society as a total environment in which the behaviour of individuals, groups, nations and states occurs, describes ethnic, political, economic and ideological systems and discusses all aspects of behaviour: decision-making; roles, non-rational activity, problems of perception, values and conflict. He shows how such behaviour relates to that which we know in all social groups and in more confined areas, and states that any analysis of international society, its problems and conflicts, which explains behaviour at one social level differently from activity at another social level must be misleading. This book provides a stimulating and challenging analysis of world society which will interest a wide range of those studying international relations, sociology and politics in universities, schools and colleges of education.

Directed by Pat Llewellyn (who discovered Jamie Oliver and the Two Fat Ladies) this wonderful series follows John Burton-Race, his wife, six children and Labrador dog as they move from London to rural France. Fed up with life as a two-star Michelin chef (apparently BBC's Chef series was loosely based on his L'Ortolan restaurant in Berkshire) John yearns for life in an old French farmhouse with chickens in the yard, peaches in the orchard, the sun on his back and Pernod on the terrace. Irresistibly shot, the accompanying book will provide 200 sensational family-style recipes. It will also include the story of their year in France in the narrative style of Frances Mayes and Peter Mayle.
Milton Erickson's complex language patterns form a major part of most therapists' work. This remarkable book develops the language further and includes comprehensive scripts and case studies. "Should be part of every therapist's tool chest." Jeanie Phillips MA LPC
I had an encounter that left me shaken and shocked. What I saw was clearly a picture of the church...clearly in my spirit, that is, because my intellect was confounded. It didn't make sense. In my encounter, the vision I saw was shocking and quite mysterious. I have had many visions of the Church, of reformation, but this one was markedly different. It sure didn't look like a vision of the Church, but it immediately felt like one. I was standing in an apocalyptic looking environment. It was dark and weighty. In front of me was an absolutely massive, burning crater. God immediately revealed to me that I was looking at the soon coming Church.
